5Memorable Experience in Kibera
I had a great experience exploring Kibera with Rally Walker as our host. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very welcoming throughout the tour. He gave us a genuine insight into the community, its history, culture, and everyday life, while making the experience comfortable and respectful. What I appreciated most was Rally’s personal approach and the way he shared stories and experiences from the community rather than simply giving a typical tourist tour. The tour was informative, engaging, and gave me a much better understanding of Kibera and the people who live there. I highly recommend Rally Walker to anyone looking for an authentic, meaningful, and well-organised Kibera experience. Thank you, Rally, for a memorable tour!
5A must see
An eye-opening experience. Rally was so accommodating and flexible. He shares his first-hand knowledge of the slum, the school, and the people living there.
5We could help to make the world a little better!
It is a shocking and heartwarming experience. The lack of sanitation and basic facilities makes me wonder how could people live there. But the same time I see people innovate and persevere in such environment. Best wish to all residents there and you deserve a better future! Rally is a wonderful guide. I feel safe and welcome in Kibera. It is nice to see smiles in children's face. I wish my donation could could help them in a small way!
5Best experience ever!
This is once in a lifetime experience. Rally is an exceptional guide, known in the community, and helped us learn everything about the slum and the way of people living there. Nobody should miss it!
5VERY EYE-OPENING
My visit to the Kibera Slums was one of the most eye-opening and life-changing experiences I’ve ever had, and so much of that was because of my incredible guide, Rally. From the moment we met, Rally welcomed me with warmth, kindness, and genuine passion for his community. Rather than simply showing us around, he helped me understand the heart of Kibera—its resilience, creativity, and the incredible spirit of the people who call it home. He shared personal stories, explained the history of the area, and introduced me to local businesses, schools, and community initiatives that are making a real difference. What impacted me the most was how Rally challenged many of the perspectives I had unknowingly carried. Instead of seeing only hardship, I witnessed hope, determination, entrepreneurship, and a strong sense of community. Every conversation and every stop on the tour reminded me that people are far more than the circumstances they face. Rally answered every question with honesty and respect, creating a safe space to learn and reflect. It was clear that he genuinely cares about educating visitors while empowering his community. His authenticity made the experience deeply personal and unforgettable. I left Kibera with a changed perspective on life, gratitude for the blessings I often take for granted, and a greater appreciation for the dignity and strength of the human spirit. This wasn’t just a tour, it was an opportunity to learn, connect, and grow. If you’re considering visiting Kibera, I cannot recommend Rally highly enough. His knowledge, compassion, and dedication make this an experience that will stay with you long after you’ve left. Thank you, Rally, for opening my eyes and giving me one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.
5A Powerful, Eye-Opening Experience
This was one of the most meaningful experiences of our trip to Kenya. Visiting Kibera was educational, humbling, and deeply inspiring. The tour provided an honest look at everyday life while highlighting the incredible resilience, strength, and sense of community of the people who live there. Our guide, Rally, was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, genuine, and passionate about sharing the realities of life in Kibera with honesty and respect. He answered all of our questions, provided valuable historical and cultural context, and made us feel welcomed throughout the tour. His personal insights made the experience even more meaningful. One of my favorite parts of the tour was bringing my kids along. Before our visit, they brought candy to share with the children in the community, and seeing the kids connect through such a simple act of kindness was incredibly special. We also had the opportunity to participate in the cutest interactive Q&A session with the local children, which ended up being one of the highlights of our visit. We appreciated that the tour focused on understanding the community rather than reinforcing stereotypes. It challenged our perspectives and gave our family a much deeper appreciation for the realities many people face, as well as the hope, resilience, and determination within the community. If you’re looking for an authentic experience that will educate, inspire, and leave a lasting impression, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Rally, for giving our family a perspective we’ll carry with us long after returning home.

Nairobi National Park lies just beyond the suburbs, and its lions, rhinos, giraffes and buffalo can be seen with skyscrapers on the horizon. Close by, an orphanage raises young elephants rescued from across Kenya, and the Giraffe Centre lets visitors meet rare Rothschild's giraffes eye to eye from a raised platform.
